Some info about Cachaça from Wikipedia :):

Cachaça or cashasa (pronounced ka SHA sa, IPA: [ˌkaˈʃasɐ]) (also called pinga, branquinha, caninha, aquela que matou o guarda, caxa, aguardente, cana or mé) is the most popular distilled alcoholic beverage in Brazil, made from sugarcane juice (also called garapa). The legal definition of cachaça says "cachaça is the product of the distillation of the fermented sugarcane juice, with alcohol strength between 38% and 51% by volume. Up to 6 grams per litre of sugar can be added".

Cachaça is often said to differ from rum in that it is made from sugarcane juice while rum is made from molasses. However, as with many other simplified or simulated manufacturing processes (to save money) a number of rum distillers use sugarcane juice instead of molasses to make their rums, and then add other ingredients to simulate the effect the molasses would have had on the product.
